The Ribbons of Life (RoL) Breast Cancer Foundation is an organization committed to providing breast cancer education, advocacy, emotional, and social support within Ventura County.

A CELEBRATION WITH AND FOR OUR COMMUNITY !

On Saturday, October 11, 2014, the 12-year vision of Ribbons of Life was realized when a group of supporters, thrivers, community members and professional volunteers joined together to celebrate the opening of our new Breast Cancer Resource Center. A ribbon-cutting ceremony took place in our Resource Center’s Gathering Room (Suite 239), recognizing the numerous individuals, the Oxnard and Ventura city firefighters, student groups, and companies within our community who made this space possible.

Our vision now is to maintain and extend our individual assistance to women with breast cancer and their caregivers in Ventura County. Our independent Breast Cancer Resource Center is located at 1500 Palma Drive, Suite 239, Ventura. Presently, individual assistance is available evenings and weekend by appointment. Call (805) 308-3456.

Saturday, April 11, 2015 – BreastFest at Mimi’s

Every second Saturday of the month, RoL meets for breakfast at Mimi’s Cafe in Ventura, CA. There is a short informative program, an information table and a CLOCS Table to celebrate the lives of cancer survivors with a take home item each month.

On odd months, every second Saturday, immediately following the RoL BreastFest, we meet around 11 a.m. to create items which help us support our community of thrivers and their support systems. We knit, crochet, quilt, sew, sketch, paint, write or create other projects. Those who want to learn how to knit, crochet or learn a craft are invited. For more information, email ROL@RibbonsVentura.org.

FABRIC CUTTERS, SEWERS & FABRIC are NEEDED for our Care Bag Project. If you, or someone you know, would like to participate in this meaningful community project and donate fabric and sewing items, cut fabric, sew bags or make donations to this project, kindly contact us by emailing us your specific interest at ROL@RibbonsVentura.org or place a donation via Paypal.
